1992, I purchased a D4H Cat with a BRON plow from Dow
Foley with Darr Equipment, who was an associate member
with PCCA,” he said. “Dow invited me to the next PCCA
convention in Nashville, Tenn., at the Opryland Hotel. He
took me under his wing and introduced me around. Among
the people I met were Ron and Barb Hall, who designed and
manufactures the BRON plow, and their friendship has truly
enriched our lives over the years.”
Through the years, Glen continued increasing his con-
tacts at PCCA and growing his business. “A couple of years
later, Dow invited us out to dinner along with Guy Fugal,
so we were given the opportunity to meet the Fugal family.
The networking of PCCA began and has not stopped to this
day,” Glen said. “We would have never of had the oppor-
tunity to work in the islands for Bonneville Construction
had it not been for our acquaintance with Steve Spears and
Steve Bauchman at the PCCA conventions. The windows
of opportunities and wisdom gained by association with
the PCCA membership could have never happened by any
other avenue. It is an endless pipeline that just keeps giving
with each new day. I can honestly say that Amerine Utilities
Construction would not be the successful company it is today
without our involvement in PCCA.”
Glen and his business derived much value from PCCA, and
in turn, he has given value back to the association through
his years of volunteer leadership, active participation in the
Board, Executive Committee, and Membership/Welcoming
Committee, and his yearly support of the PCCA Auction.
One of Glen’s goals with PCCA is to convince newer
members to aggressively pursue opportunities within the
association. “As president of PCCA this year, I have hoped to
impress on our membership the importance of being present
at the conventions and being involved in the meetings,” Glen
said. “You never know what will come out of one particular
encounter.”
While Glen’s business, family, and association duties take
up much of his time, he still finds time to pursue hobbies
and charitable endeavors. “When I am not working, you will
most likely find me at a drag race track, which our Amerine
Racing team has over ten drag cars we race,” he said. “If not
racing, then I love to hunt birds and wild game and go fish-
ing. Pat and I also love to travel and see the world.”
“Finally, one of my passions is supporting and being in-
volved for the past 30 years in the Roca Blanca Mission Base
in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, which is the poor-
est region of Mexico,” Glen said. The Roca Blanca Mission
Base reaches into poor, unreached areas and extends com-
passion and humanitarian aid through medical outreaches,
food and clothing distribution, and community development
projects. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is demonstrated
and shared with these people, and their lives are enriched.
“As president of PCCA this year, I have hoped
to impress on our membership the importance
of being present at the conventions and being
involved in the meetings. You never know what will
come out of one particular encounter.”
